## What is BE?

Every traveler becomes a JUMIN, a local, for a little while.

BE-JUMIN is how you find the Busan that guidebooks miss. Skip the lines at tourist spots and walk into the small places neighbors actually love. Read menus in your own language, learn how to eat like a regular, and keep every place you loved in one app.

WHY BE-JUMIN

DISCOVER: places that aren't on the tourist map
Our picks come from residents, not tourist reviews. The quiet noodle shop, the third-generation bakery, the cafe where regulars have their own seats. Open the map, see what's glowing around you, and wander in.

READ: menus in your language
Korean-only menu? No problem. Menus for every listed shop come in your language, with each dish explained, so you can order with confidence even at places that have never served a foreign guest.

CONNECT: hear it from people who walked in the door
Every place has its own conversation. Read what travelers and neighbors are saying, leave a comment, and pass your find on to the next BE-JUMIN.

ARCHIVE: your trip, remembered by place
Photos you take are archived by place instead of getting lost in your camera roll. Your trip becomes a map of moments you can walk through again anytime.

FOR SHOP OWNERS
Listing is free. We handle the translation and the introductions. You keep doing what you do best. If you run a shop in an alley we should know about, get in touch through the app.

HOW IT WORKS

Open the map and find shops near you, chosen by locals
Browse the menu in your language before you walk in
Snap a photo and it is archived to the place automatically
Leave a comment for the next traveler

We're starting in Busan, Korea's second city and its best-kept secret. More cities as the neighborhood grows.

Not a tourist. Not a resident. A BE-JUMIN.
The alley in your pocket. See you soon.
